The disk image is read- only, and sage is trying to initialise itself. It's not like a normal Mac OS app, in that it needs to be able to write to where-ever you run it from (at least the first time you run it). If you install it in /Applications (although you don't have to), and you try to run it with a non-admin user then you'll need to do the trick that the prof. suggested. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URLs: http://www.sagemath.org -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
